Job stuff / anxiety issues 

I was reading through a contract for a local temp agency today, and just reading all the sections regarding all the employment restrictions and rights I would have to sign away while working for them made me really, really nervous and anxious...

I didn't necessarily feel like I had any choice but to sign? :S They are a fairly large temp agency here in Las Vegas, and they recruit for a fairly large number of jobs...

Job stuff / anxiety issues 2 

I wish I could just work from home, or part time, doing programming or computer repair or something that didn't make me impossibly anxious...

Though, I don't even know if I can handle that. Being around people at all makes me really, really uncomfortable...

And, if I'm being honest ... even thinking about having a job at all makes me really nervous, because I worry I will be unhappy while I'm doing it, and if I am not happy in my job I usually can't focus, I get anxious, and I stop being able to work well...

But ... I haven't been able to work on things without a job, either...

And I do need money so I can pay loan bills and medical bills and eat...
